Title: Any small appliance repair men on here?
Post by: rosscrazyelk on January 22, 2016, 12:13:56 PM: I am not sure how many people look at the for hire thread so I am posting this on here.
I have a front loading washer that is not working. Gives me some weird code on the front.
I tried calling a few companies but to even come out and look its $100. If you are interested in some cash on the side. please PM me.

Don't know if this will help but we had the same situation with ours. There is a small "trap" you can open up beneath the clothes drum that will collect "stuff" and prevent it from going through the pump(s). It may be full/clogged. You'll be surprised what you'll find. I found a key to my truck I had been missing for a couple years and a couple bucks worth of change.

It'll tell you what the code stand for. If you tell us the manufacturer and what code you're getting, I bet you'll get the right answers :tup:

More often than not, it's the clogged drain filter full of money and junk.

Post by: Nice Racks on January 22, 2016, 01:34:01 PM: Yea YouTube it. BMW wanted $5,000 to replace 4 gaskets on my X3. I YouTubed them, and was able to replace 3 of the 4 and saved myself $2700. The 3 that I bought only cost me $140 in parts. Of course the one I can't change myself is the expensive one and that one will cost me $2500. Now my washing machine is leaking every once in a while and I plan on looking on YouTube this weekend to see if I can fix it.
